Feeling good about oneself doesn't mean feeling better than anyone else!

I'm feeling great and I prioritise health. I don't feel better than anyone else! I can enjoy feeling good about myself and hope for everyone else to enjoy themselves too.

How trying a vegan diet helped me overcome my negative self-talk

Behaviour principles can be applied across the species. From animal training to personal development. Changing my behaviour changed the way I talk to myself. It can be applied to any new skill you would like to learn, I applied it to changing my diet. I’ve done it, you can do it too.
